 What can you say about the picture?
 What did you notice about the shape of each object in the picture?

d. Abstraction
The teacher will present the topic circular permutation to the students.

Circular Permutation
It pertains to the arrangement of objects in a circular pattern.

Case 1: The number of permutations of n distinct objects arranged in a

circular pattern given by the formula:
𝑃 = (𝑛 − 1)!
Example :
1. In how many ways can six children sit a round table?
Solution:
Given: 𝑛 = 6
𝑃 = (𝑛 − 1)!
= (6 − 1)!
= 5!
= 5𝑥4𝑥3𝑥2𝑥1
= 120 𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠

2. In how many ways may the vertices of a regular heptagon be named

with the letters A, B, C, D, E, F & G?

Given: 𝑛 = 7
𝑃 = (𝑛 − 1)!
= (7 − 1)!
= 6!
= 6𝑥5𝑥4𝑥3𝑥2𝑥1
= 720
( 𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠

3. In how many ways can eight people sit around the table:
 There are no restrictions?
Solution:
Given: 𝑛 = 8
𝑃 = (𝑛 − 1)!
𝑃 = (8 − 1)!
= 7!
= 7𝑥6𝑥5𝑥4𝑥3𝑥2𝑥1
= 5,040
( 𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠

 Two insist on sitting next to each other?

Solution:

Given: 𝑛 = 7
𝑃 = (𝑛 − 1)!
𝑃 = (7 − 1)! ∗ 2!
= 6! ∗ 2!
= 6𝑥5𝑥4𝑥3𝑥2𝑥1𝑥2𝑥1
= 720𝑥2
= 1140
( 𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠

 Three insist on sitting next to one another?

Given: 𝑛 = 6
𝑃 = (𝑛 − 1)!
𝑃 = (6 − 1)! ∗ 3!
= 5! ∗ 3!
= 5𝑥4𝑥3𝑥2𝑥1𝑥3𝑥2𝑥1
=( 120𝑥6
= 720 𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠

Case 2: The number of circular permutation of n different things around

a key ring and the like:
(𝑛 − 1)!
𝑃=
2
 Example:

4. In how many ways can 12 keys be arranged on a key ring?

Given: 𝑛 = 12
(𝑛 − 1)!
𝑃=
2
(12 − 1)!
𝑃=

5. In how many ways can eight different colored beads be arranged on a

bracelet?
Given: 𝑛 = 8
(𝑛 − 1)!
𝑃=

(8 − 1)!
𝑃=
